Did you superstar headline writers consider contextualizing this in relation to The Mass Protest That Shall Not Be Mentioned On Page A1?

KARL: Why is the Defense Secretary afraid to interact with journalists who cover him?

JOHNSON: I reject the premise

KARL: The guy has only had 2 briefings and he basically forced the press out

JOHNSON: I can't remember a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent and out in the open

BARTIROMO: You said you wanted to develop Gaza. Do you have plans for that?

TRUMP: I liked it as, like, freedom place you call it. And we would get all of the people that live there into decent homes throughout the region. Egypt has a lot of land, Jordan has a lot of land.

!!! Trump now says he's secured $20 TRILLION in investments in America. His fake number has increased by $2 trillion just since last Thursday! (The entire US GDP is $30 trillion)

Trump: "We're building a gravel road into this incredible place of rare earth. And I said, 'We should own a part of that company.' And then I do that and people criticize me, 'That's not the American way!' It is actually the American way."

TRUMP: You know, I'm allowed to be involved in this. I'm the chief law enforcement officer of the United States.

This is a complete abdication of journalistic responsibility. A president posting something this insane and disgusting should be front and center in the news.

Mayor Johnson: There are those in this country that have decided, at the behest of this president, to declare war on Chicago and American cities across this country. They have clearly decided that they want a rematch of the Civil War. We will not submit to the authoritarianism that is coming down.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

So a virtually brand new news site can cover this story, which is of national importance, but the BBC and our msm remain silent?They’re not just silent they’re now complicit in a cover up of a foreign intelligence agency penetrating a UK political party. This needs to be spread widely.

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago.

Why is the Reform Party's Russian links not a major news story?

Hardeep Matharu @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social · 2d

Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK?

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."
